A cactus heart, the root of all digressions
Meeting in unison; each finger entwined
I’ve brought a dowry for love, the kind
That would entice and should, bring about
A bleeding heart, cerebral fists
My eyes they gather up in tow, a tear rang
Truce in burnt foliage, the leaves under
My toes : brushed up against my sleeves,
I feel your willing needs, the way your heart
It bleeds for me; each memory becomes mine
And yours; it speaks, in tones of woe and blinking
stars to arrays of light, they shine stiffly
The air concealed in breaths of kiss and drink,
We spill our bitter orange, sweets and melancholic
Amber leaves, they’re bright and beautiful
A heart of mine, is yours, the earth begins
The seasons turn but, stay here with me in Summer
